Desperado why don't you come to your senses
You been out ridin' fences
For so long now
Oh you're a hard one
I know that you got your reasons
These things that are pleasin' you
Can hurt you somehow

Don't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy she'll beat you if she's able
The queen of hearts is always your best bet
Now it seems to me some fine things
Have been laid upon your table
But you always want the ones that you can't get

Desperado
Oh you ain't gettin' no younger
Your pain and your hunger
They're drivin' you home
And freedom oh, freedom
Well that's just some people talkin'
Your prison is walkin'
Through this world all alone

Don't your feet get get cold
In the wintertime
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
It's hard to tell the night time from the day

You're losin' all your highs and lows
Ain't it funny how the feelin' goes away

Desperado
Why don't you come to your senses
Come down from the fences
Open the gate
It may be rainin'
But there's rainbow above you
You beter let somebody love you
Let somebody you
You better let somebody love you
Before it's too late
